A few versions ago Microsoft introduced the ability to enter a negative payment (Cash Receipt) for a customer in Microsoft Dynamics GP. I have now worked with a number of customers that have these negative payments sitting on customer accounts who needed help getting rid of them.

Change GP fiscal period names using SQL Server
Every time I create a new fiscal year in Dynamics GP or show customers how to do it, I get a little frustrated that I have to manually rename all the periods. Some users may not care that instead of January GP displays Period 1, but I don’t think that is very user friendly. So, for more years […]

Robert Cavill from Emeco in Australia has sent me an amazing update to my Security Roles and Tasks in Dynamics GP SQL script that includes SmartList objects.

GP 2010 is now available for download on both CustomerSource and PartnerSource. According to the poll I have had on this blog for about two months, almost 60% of those who responded have plans to upgrade to GP 2010 and another 5% are already on it. 11% chose “What’s GP 2010?” – not sure if they’re joking, stumbled upon my blog […]

I had a poll on the sidebar of this blog for about a year asking what version of Dynamics GP my visitors were using. Here are the results: I admit to being a little surprised by this, I thought that GP 9.0 would be much closer to GP 10.0, not less than half. And a total of 14% […]

Thank you very much to Tim Foster for pointing me to a newsgroup post by David Musgrave detailing how to populate the SY09400 table in SQL which holds […]

Dynamics GP 10.0 has brought about a drastic change in GP security. Not only is the security pessimistic now, so by default no permissions are granted, but setting up and administering security is quite different from what many of us are used to after working with previous versions of GP for many years. And, of course, reporting on […]
